After relenting No. 1 on The Hollywood Reporter’s Top Actors chart for a week to Cara Delevingne, Dwayne Johnson reassumes the top spot on the chart dated Aug. 16.

The Top Actors chart is a ranking of the most popular actors on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube and Google Plus, with global data provided by social media analytics company MVPindex. The chart’s methodology blends social engagement on the platforms along with weekly additions of followers/subscribers. The latest tracking week ended Aug. 8.

Four actors re-enter the Top Actors chart’s top 10, meanwhile, led by Spider-Man star Tom Holland (No. 20), while Nina Dobrev reaches the top 10 for the first time.

Dobrev, whose previous peak in seven weeks on the Top Actors chart was No. 15 (the July 26-dated ranking), breaks into the top 10 with a 56 percent boost in Instagram favorites to 4.9 million in the tracking week, according to MVPindex. One post threw it back to Julianne Hough’s July 10 wedding to Brooks Laich in Idaho, at which Dobrev was a bridesmaid for the first time.

One photo, meanwhile, featured a screenshot of a Tumblr post hypothesizing that the actor “constantly looks like he’s hiding a frog in his mouth,” Holland responding that he “can confirm that the rumours are true.”
